Yongxiu Wucheng Ancient Town is a thousand-year-old ancient town in the Poyang Lake Basin, the world's largest wintering habitat for white cranes and wild geese, and one of the four famous towns in Jiangxi that has been visited many times by historical celebrities. Wucheng, which once prospered due to business, is now known as the "Kingdom of Rare and Migratory Birds", the "Eighth Wonder of the World" and the "Second Great Wall of China", and is once again famous at home and abroad. The broken walls, inscriptions and stone carvings all tell visitors the vicissitudes of history here over the past thousand years. And every year, batches of white cranes, swans and other rare birds bring new vitality to this surviving ancient town, making it exist in the modern world and moving it.Attractions distribution:
Wucheng is located in the south of Jiujiang and northeast of Yongxiu, covering an area of 368 square kilometers. There are two unique landforms in the town that are rare in the south of the Yangtze River. One is the "water sand mountain", and the other is the endless wetland grassland.
